Question 1

how long does it generally take for warfarin to leave the body once you stop taking it?

Accepted Answer

Warfarin: The duration of time it takes for warfarin to be eliminated from your body depends on a few factors. It depends on the dose that you were previously taking, it depends on the pro time level at the time that you stop warfarin, and it depends on how much vitamin k is in your diet. That being said, usually we estimate 5 to 7 days for reduction of the effect of warfarin down to a level of baseline.

Question 2

does warfarin make sunburn last longer?

Accepted Answer

Warfarin: There is minimal evidence to suggest any warfarin interaction with sunburn.

Question 3

i had an uedvt 1.5 months ago. on warfarin. symptoms better, just mild aching. is it ok to work out my upper body again?

Accepted Answer

UEDVT: That question should be asked of the dr. Taking care of you who knows your particulars as well as having performed a physical exam pertinent to the situation. Out in the cloud you can only get generalities not specifics to your situation.

Question 4

i take warfarin life-long. it makes my body extremely acidic. dr vogels antacid powder does not help. what can i take to keep my body at a healthy ph?

Accepted Answer

Not acidic: You did not describe any symptoms and "acidic body" is not a medically accepted term or diagnosis. In any case, drink enough water every day so that your urine is mostly colorless.

Question 5

what vitamin can i take while on coumadin (warfarin) my body trembles alot. is this because of constant blood being drawn from me. i don't smoke drink or do drugs?

Accepted Answer

Vitamins: There are multivitamins without vitamin k in the market that you can take. Just make sure there is no vitamin k in them. For trembling please talk to your doctor.

Question 6

would i be eligible for ultrasonic liposuction with the medication i'm taking? i am a woman in my 40's. i am no longer taking warfarin, but i am taking plavix (clopidogrel) as part of my anticoagulant drug regimen and i would like fat removed from my butt

Accepted Answer

Safety : Safety is the one of the most important considerations when evaluating patients for plastic surgery.  I do not recommend having surgery while on plavix (clopidogrel).  This will increase the amount of bleeding associated with the surgery.  Just wait until after your cardiologist thinks it is safe to stop the plavix (clopidogrel).

Question 7

i had thrombosis and was on warfarin for 7 months my doc said i can stop so know i notice that there is fresh blood in my stool and am getting blue spots on my body.....what can this mean?

Accepted Answer

Your having: symptoms consistent with Warfarin OVERDOSAGE.. Stop the warfarin as directed and contact your Doctor ASAP ...he/she may wish to evaluate the rectal bleeding ..the bruising should stop on its own...

Hope this is helpful
